Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe traditional approach to codes and standards is the specification of individual fire-test-respo
3、nserequirements for each material, component, or product that is found in a given environment and isdeemed important to maintain satisfactory levels of fire safety. This practice has been in place for solong that it gives a significant level of comfort; manufacturers know what is required to comply
4、withthe specifications and specifiers simply apply the requirements. The implicit assumptions are notstated, but they are that the use of the prescribed requirements ensures an adequate level of safety.There is no need to impose any change on those manufacturers who supply safe systems meetingexisti
5、ng prescriptive requirements; however, as new materials, components, and products aredeveloped, manufacturers, designers, and specifiers often desire the flexibility to choose how overallsafety requirements are to be met. It is the responsibility of developers of alternative approaches tostate expli
6、citly the assumptions being made which result in a design having an equivalent level ofsafety. One way to generate explicit and valid assumptions is to use a performance-based approach,based on test methods that provide data in engineering units, suitable for use in fire safety engineeringcalculatio
7、ns, as this guide provides.This fire hazard assessment guide focuses on rail transportation vehicles. Such a fire hazardassessment requires developing all crucial fire scenarios that must be considered and consideration ofthe effect of all contents and designs within the rail transportation vehicle,
8、 which will potentially affectthe resulting fire hazard. The intention of this guide is that rail transportation vehicles be designedeither by meeting all the requirements of the traditional prescriptive approach or by conducting a firehazard assessment, that needs to provide adequate margins of err
9、or, in which a level of safety isobtained that is equal to or greater than the level of safety resulting from the traditional approach.1. Scope1.1 This is a guide to developing fire hazard assessments for rail transportation vehicles. It has been written to assistprofessionals, including fire safety
10、 engineers, who wish to assess the fire safety of rail transportation vehicles, during or after theirdesign (see also 1.6). This guide is not in itself a fire hazard assessment nor does it provide acceptance criteria; thus, it cannot beused for regulation.1.2 Hazard assessment is a process that resu
11、lts in an estimate of the potential severity of the fires that can develop under definedscenarios, once defined incidents have occurred. Hazard assessment does not address the likelihood of a fire occurring. Hazardassessment is based on the premise that an ignition has occurred, consistent with a sp
12、ecified scenario, and that potential outcomesof the scenario can be reliably estimated.1.3 Consistent with 1.2, this guide provides methods to evaluate whether particular rail passenger designs provide an equal orgreater level of fire safety when compared to designs developed based on the traditiona

Such approaches have typically been based on prescriptive test methodologies.The following are examples of such lists of prescriptive tests: the requirements by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)(

20、damage from fires in rail transportation vehicles, byassessing the comparative fire hazard of particular products, assemblies, systems or overall designs intended for use in railtransportation vehicles. Such methods could include changes to the materials, components, products, assemblies, or systems
21、involved in the construction of the rail transportation vehicle or changes in the design features of the vehicle, including the numberand location of automatically activated fire safety devices present (see 4.4.4 for further details).1.6 This guide is intended, among other things, to be of assistanc

23、tion of rail transportation vehicles.1.6.5 Provision of a safe environment for all occupants of a rail transportation vehicle.1.7 The techniques provided in this guide are based on specific assumptions in terms of rail transportation vehicle designs,construction and fire scenarios. These techniques
24、can be used to provide a quantitative measure of the fire hazards from a specifiedset of fire conditions, involving specific materials, products, or assemblies. Such an assessment cannot be relied upon to predictthe hazard of actual fires, which involve conditions, or vehicle designs, other than tho
25、se assumed in the analysis. In particular, thefire hazard may be affected by the anticipated use pattern of the vehicle.1.8 This guide can be used to analyze the estimated fire performance of the vehicle specified under defined specific firescenarios. Under such scenarios, incidents will begin eithe
26、r inside or outside a vehicle, and ignition sources can involve vehicleequipment as well as other sources. The fire scenarios to be used are described in detail in Section 5.3.1.8.1 Fires with more severe initiating conditions than those assumed in an analysis may pose more severe fire hazard than t
27、hatcalculated using the techniques provided in this guide. For this reason severe fire conditions must be considered as part of an arrayof fire scenarios.1.9 This fire standard cannot be used to provide quantitative measures.1.10 This international standard was developed in accordance with internati
